I'm happy with my air switch. One less switch to remember which one turns on what. Also, since my sink is in front of counter-depth bay window, there would not have been an easily reached place for a wall switch.

And no, you don't have to worry if your hands are wet to turn it on.

Yes, you press it once to turn it on, then again to turn it off.

HTH!

Our granite and switch were just installed on Monday and we love it! Wet hands or dry, it doesn't matter, you push it once to start it, push it again to stop it. It seems those wall switches are never in places that easily accomodate shorter people, so when I learned about the air switch, I was tickled pink!

A couple of things I learned along the way that you may want to keep in mind: It's electrical so you have to have an outlet in the cabinet under the sink. If you currently have a top mount sink and you're replacing it with an undermount, the undermount will be bigger inside the cabinet. Make sure you will have enough room for the additional hole required. For example, the silgranit sink I chose has 1 large sink & 1 smaller sink and they took up so much room on the counter that I only had room for 3 holes, the faucet I chose requires 2 holes so I had to choose between a soap dispenser or the air switch, which was a no brainer for me. Hope that makes sense...good luck!

OK, that does sound like the way to go.

I have got this idea to install one under the wall cabinet so I can turn on the 2 low voltage, halogen pucks above the sink. Again it seems safer, the wet hands issue, and I don't have to look at another switch on the backsplash.

Is there any reason why it wouldn't work -- like the switch cannot work upside down, etc. I know they are $50 each but seems like a much safer to use with other periperials too.

Just another vote saying I love the air switch :)
